Sexuality is considered fairly liberal and diverse throughout the world. Even in places where people are monogamous, single partnered, and married the process for finding a partner may vary; and the agreements to end the relationship and find another partner are not consistent throughout the world.

Concepts such as gender, which are part of sexuality, exist even in these cultures and are viewed as sexual expression within those contexts. Some people prefer women with a more masculine expression, and effiminate men are often desired in places where conflict or aggresion are on a timeline to be reduced.

All of this falls within normal sexual expression that includes same sex partnerships, age gap dating, similarity dating only, and group sex.

Humans are diverse throughout the world and sexual expression is considered abnormal outside of specific contexts. This can be environmental, cultural, or genetic.

Abnormal behaviors are contextual to the human environment of the person being examined.

Aggressive sexual behaviors are most often considered abnormal, but this also has exceptions. An environment or culture can be sexually aggressive but still consensual with its participants, and understanding of those that do not want to participate because of discomfort, lack of interest, not part of their expression, or interested but not willing to participate.

Dating Compatibility

People living in the same geographic area may not all be sexually compatible because of behaviors, interests, cultures, or genes. An environment where everyone is expected to have sex with anyone that asks may be acceptable in some areas but considered abnormal in that same area for people outside that culture.

In many developed nations, people that are monogamous are often times considered abnormal but tolerated. However, many people in developed nations choose single partner relationships. Even though they only have one partner at a time, they may still end up with 5 or 6 partners in their lifetime. In both cases other sexual expressions are outside of their context. They don't really consider other people sexually abnormal, they just view them as having a different sexual expression than them.

In cultures that have group sex, there are various types of expressions. A lot of group partners are in committed relationships resembling contractual agreements. They don't really have sex outside of their agreed upon group. Besides concerns for adverse health affects, they may be concerned with mental health or psychological duress from not keeping their agreements and not requesting a modification of terms. There is normally a process to leave the group, pass a health screening and request acceptance or admission into another group.

Some groups are a little less formal and may have general guidelines on group sex participants temporarily or permanently leaving one group for inclusing in a different group. Overall, permanently leaving a group is a more drawn out process that has considerations besides sexual gratification.

Many people, especially in big cities began self exploration in order to prepare for an eventual date. By the time they found a date, following through on sexual intercourse seemed uninteresting, preferring the comfort of their own sexual sanctuary dedicated to themselves. Over the years many people with this type of sexuality have thought about their private ceremonies, the frequency, intent, and context of their indulgence. They then compare this it to a simulation of having someone live with them to complete these ceremonies or going out every weekend to find a partner and seeing if it works out.

While some people with this type of sexual expression are willing to try a physical partner or have participated in sex with a physical person, they normally have a list of concerns. Effort and compatibility are a big part of their overall decisions. They normally do not like being too intrusive, their preference can range from willing to try a short to mid term relationship to would like to participate in group sex or multi-partner relationship. Dating apps are usually not desirable and there is often a desire for the possible partner to be discreet and confidential.

What is referred to as flirting in the United States, is viewed as like friendship assessment in other parts of the world. Few people globally would have a relationship with someone they weren't willing to be friends with. While it does happen, it is normally as a taboo, or in policy areas where people aren't allowed to date those that have similar interests as them. Flirting is something kids do when expressing themselves to a potential friends, as an adult its a natural human behavior people have when meeting someone new.

While this may seem confusing, in a human expression analysis, people flirt in various settings such as negotiating a business deal, applying for a job, boarding a bus, ordering food at a restaurant, explaining themselves in court, purchasing clothing, or driving through traffic on the way to work.

Once people get past flirting and are comfortable enough to talk, dating or relationship contexts most often require a similarity. Even if there are a lot of differences in a potential partner, there are enough similarities to be comfortable enough around them to entertain the idea of having sex with them.

Interest expressions are part of sexuality and they emotionally affect people. When displaying an interest expression, its important to keep in mind that the other person may not understand the context of those expressions or that those expressions are related to sexuality and an interest in them.
